Ed Coan Knee Blowout

[crab3535]

I was on Chad Nicholls web site and there is a scary and tragic mpeg of Ed Coan blowing out his right knee while doing a squat.

My question is: Is this a recent injury ?

I have read a lot about all the records he has set, and it would be a pity if this is a career ending injury, as opposed to something he has recovered from in the past.

This is a fairly recent injury. He blew his patella tendon squatting at the Mountaneer cup maybe a couple of months ago.

CRab post the url to the web site, Inquiring Minds Want to Know

the video was already posted in the training section, it was at the Mountaineer open and he is already rehabing and doing light squats.

That $hit is crazy, that leg just gives out, I would love to say Ed got the hell out of there but it looks like the weight propelled him out.

Scary stuff.

Peace,
Mike

Holly shit that looked bad. He looked like he hammered his head too. Does anyone have an update on Ed since the injury?
